Born and raised in a small town in South Africa,  I discovered my love for art at an early age. Growing up in Mpumalanga, I often visited the Kruger National Park with my father, where I developed a deep appreciation for wildlife and nature. My mother's love for gardening also influenced my love for flowers and their intricate beauty.

After completing my studies in computer programming, and raising a family. I decided to pursue my passion for art and began studying under a mentor for six years. During this time, I honed my skills in watercolours and charcoal and developed my signature style, which is characterised by the delicate interplay of flora.

 My art is a reflection of my deep connection to nature and the intricate beauty of life.

Through my art, I seek to capture the essence of the natural world and evoke a sense of wonder and awe in the viewer. My works are a testament to the enduring beauty of nature and the power of art to connect us to the world around us.
